This seems to work so far for pop and imap.

However I just found a problem with the connection oriented mode. I'm not 
completely sure how it is supposed to work.

According to the documentation I should call:

slave = KIO::Scheduler::getConnectedSlave( url.url(), mSlaveConfig );
job = KIO::get( url.url(), false, false );
KIO::Scheduler::assignJobToSlave(slave, job);

But if connecting fails, for example, because the server does not support 
TLS, but I want to have encryption the job is still executed afterwards, 
possibly with a new slave, which causes a new connection being made. Possibly 
this connection is not encrypted, since is does not seem to depend on the 
configuration earlier passed to the slave. Therefore it's even a security 
problem here.

Alternatively I tried to connect on the slaveConnected() signal and start the 
job then, but this seems to be never emitted although I tried calling 
finished() in openConnection() of the slave.
